Re:What's the point of writing good scientific software? by michaelbarton on Friday February 08, 2013 @04:06PM (#5190149)
I agree with respect to writing correct scientific software. I think in many cases though bugs are not found because who is going to download the software and test the conclusions? Unless it's a very big result, e.g. an arsenic backbone for DNA, few academics will spend the time to validate others results in this level of detail.
